Call for Artists
We are seeking proposals from artists for interactive installations! Are you an artist interested in developing a work that will be installed throughout the house in spaces or furniture pieces that are sometimes hidden away or unused? Proposed works should speak to or interplay with the themes of the house, as well as consider surprise, delight, and whimsy. We are looking for pieces that offer guests the opportunity to engage with the pieces or its mode of display, offering hands-on, interactive experiences, allowing for engagement with the house in new and unexpected ways.

Tap back into your imagination during this workshop hosted by Recess Calgary and Lougheed House. Guided by Recess’s Coach T, participants will reimagine their own creative potential by transforming parts of the house into a curiosity shop-style exhibit. With guidance from Coach T, participants will have time to create their own micro-installations which will then be displayed throughout the house. Through this creative process, participants will explore and experiment with creative placemaking, playful futurism, and how to rethink the use of public space by asking the question: “Whose imagination are we living in? All participants are also encouraged to register for and attend the Open House on March 20, where works will be displayed and family and friends are welcome.
